If I want to call a record id I use the following..

\IPS\Request::i()->id == x

I want to go one step further and call a record id from x database..

I tried the following but it did not work..

\IPS\Request::i()->database_id == x and \IPS\Request::i()->id == x

What can I use?

I've tried different combinations too, including below, and none worked.

$category->_id == 'x'

In all cases I can call up the record id, but not the database id. What am I missing?

I've also tried and didn't work..

$database->_id == 'x'

$category->database_id == 'x'

$databases->_id == 'x'

$databases->databases_id == 'x'

$databases->_database == 'x'

 

I also tried and failed

$location->_id == 'x'

$location->location_id == 'x'

$location->database_id == 'x'

Try again

You can't get article id when you viewing db.

Maybe there is another way. Provide more info

I'd like to change content from globalTemplate based on the record I'm viewing. So record 1 will have something different from record 2 and so on.

I've managed to change the content by the record id

\IPS\Request::i()->id == x

The conflicts come when there is another database with that same record id. So if database id 1 and id 2 have record id 3 the content will show up when viewing record id 3 from both databases.

I'd like to restrict content when viewing record 3 only when it's from database id 1.

I hope that helps.

Use to define database ID

\IPS\cms\Databases\Dispatcher::i()->databaseId
